Immigration Resources

Last updated: March 10, 2021

Virginia Tech is a global land-grant university. Whether it is research supporting the development of agricultural products for export, or attracting global talent to the commonwealth to drive our technology-based economy, or providing our Virginia students with opportunities to engage with the full range of lived experiences represented by our international students and scholars, our missions are inexorably global in nature.
